i sold a dell laptop. the laptop wouldn't charge the battery and would give a error saying it didn't recognize the ac adapter. i told the guy before i gave him the laptop that it has charging problems and when i meet him i told him we could plug it up and refused. so he gets home and says it's defective. although i already told him and he's telling me that he can sue me for "delibertly selling a defective product for over $200" if i don't wanna refund him the money ($300) it was a nice laptop just had that problem. he said dell said it's the motherboard which i doubt because i've had the problem before on my compaq and replaced the battery and fixed it. i need the money for spring break. and heres the catch..

he logged on my email (idk how) and found out who i bought it from. my name. my address my number everything thru my older emails! my full name everything! and i think that's "invasion of privacy" aka this link http://law.justia.com/virginia/codes...8.2-152.5.html

so is "delibertly selling a faulty product over than $200" a felony? i google'd but came back negative

i'm pissed right now

i told him i'd give him his damn dirty money if he really wanted it back i'll just stay home spring break with my girl

If it was sold as is there is nothing he can do since you told him about the problem.

He fucked up.

Fuck him, fuck him hard.

[cvc7chris]

he lives like an hour away but if he shows up here i'm calling the cops. i done told him if he wants to go to court bring it..

[cvc7chris]

it's funny how he said this in quote

(i told him my friend was in expert on dells, not legally but expience wise)

OK, I can see where this is going.............
First, a VT graduate does not make one a Dell expert - to be a DELL "Expert", one must go to the technical classes offered by DELL and also must pass the exams.

I will discuss the issue Monday with my attorney and will proceed on his recomendations - Looks like you are not going to do what is right, so we will just have to settle this in the courts - delibertly selling a faulty product over $200.00 is a felony - check that with your legal expert who I'm sure also graduated from Tech.

Don't forget, I have the email correspondence sent between you and Justin - complete with dates. Don't believe me, read below:.............

and below were the emails that me and the guy i bought it from before him that he invaded my email privacy to steal and snoop around

and a FELONY is like killin ain't it? i think this guy doesn't know what he's talking about..

[fatboy1185]

Tell him to fist himself. Take screen shots of everything

[cvc7chris]

will do..
he can't log into my email no more (i hope) i changed all my pw's i guess he had a way to get them from firefox although i thoguht i cleared everything. but i guess not.

the laptop is not charging probably because of the DC input on the motherboard is intact. It would need to be replaced and resoldered. If not that, battery or adapter could be the issue also.

Yes, its a invasion of privacy and tell that fucker hes going to get it when hes in prison.

well if it was the dc output it would shut off with the slighlest touch of the ac adapter since battery is bad. and it wasn't doing that. but could be idk i'm no computer expert.

and LOL...

[cvc7chris]

i'm guessing this guy thought since i'm hispanic taking me to court might scare me into refunding him the money. but that ain't gonna work on me lol..

[sackingz123]

you leave cookies on? maybe he went to yahoo/gmail w/e you use for email and your account was signed in?

[cvc7chris]

i deleted cookies. i guess firefox saved the pw. idk..

but it wasn't log in. u would have to type the username to probably get pw or something. i'm not too sure..

plus he uses like "jetbroadband" email or w/e..

[bcjammerx]

do you have a copy of the ad?

he's bluffing btw

BUT...if he isn't, then talk to a lawyer BEFORE the trial, ask about the invasion of privacy issue...you should have wiped the laptop so you may not have a case there...make sure and show them the ad as well. If you are good, ask the lawyer what you can sue him for...proly not anything but legal fees.

Have you changed your passwords since then?
